Since I did not get to take part in the Oslo Enhjulssykkelrunde (Unicycle Tour of Oslo) this year (I was busy with the kids), I decided to do my own little varient of it as part of my commute on the way into work today.
Distance 23.91km [14.86 miles], moving time 1h36m, 175m [574ft] elevation gain, average speed 14.9km/h [9.3mph]
FWIW, I actually only live about 5km [3.1 miles] from my office 🤷 😆
#Dresden , Hamburg, #Kassel. Diese Kette fällt einer sogleich ein, wenn Geschichtsklitterung betrieben wird.

I was so busy with all the preparations, that I forgot to tell you: I‘m at #NeosCon! Yeah, it’s that time of the year again, meeting old and new friends and recharging our community batteries. As always, we’re having such a great time! I‘ll post some more details after the conference.

Good ideas and good research take years to incubate, grow, and realise.
You need *time*.
Time to think, to try, to talk, to throw up and out 'silly' ideas and theories - some which aren't so silly in the end - to be bored, to revisit, to connect.

#LiquidGlass,
Generating Shakespeare-like text with an n-gram language model is straight forward and quite simple. But, don't expect to much of it. It will not be able to recreate a lost Shakespear play for you ;-) It's merely a parrot, making up well sounding sentences out of fragments of original Shakespeare texts...

At this year's Berlin Buzzwords, join Evgeniya Sukhodolskaya as she presents miniCOIL—a novel approach to creating a sparse neural retrieval model. This model aims to combine the advantages of dense and lexical retrieval methods while avoiding their drawbacks. Evgeniya will explain how to design and train a lightweight model that performs well on out-of-domain data and will demonstrate its capabilities.

I continue my practice of writing back to posts on social media. Also its antidote: writing back to works of art served up at random. It’s a little like surfing, taking the waves as they come. It’s a little like dancing. It’s one way to reclaim my attention, one way to stay alive to the present.
